Synopsis:
When Lex Luthor escapes from space prison, Superman believes that he will go to Lexor. He creates a teleportation device that allows him to go to Lexor for five minutes. There, he meets Ardora, Lex's wife, who despises Superman. However, in the process of chasing away Superman, Ardora discovers a secret cache of Luthor's records. When she reviews the files, she learns that her husband is really a vile criminal.

Luthor finally arrives on Lexor and is confronted by Ardora. He blames Superman for ruining the only good thing in his life. He then returns to Earth and vows to ruin Superman personally. When other dangers threaten the Man of Steel, Lex secretly aids his foe, as he wants to kill Superman himself. Lex then plots an extended psychological campaign that he hopes will turn Superman into a mindless coward.
